WWE will continue the brand split; FOX wants their own stars separate from NBCU (RAW)

[Elim Garak]

Lmao they dont have the necessary star power in 2018 if this was 15 years ago it would be no problem.

 

[NYSTATEOFMIND]

Is it too family friendly

More mature storylines

Interested in more of sports type broadcast

Lack of personality in wrestlers

Do wrestlers need to be off the cuff more

Need to be Less scripted


It’s was some good other ones too. I can’t speak for others but the last few surveys I took questions were nothing like this one

How you get the survey

I wanna give Vince a piece of my mind

I agreed to do them when I bought tickets to raw in 2016 through email

WWE Rumors: Ronda Rousey Wanted on SmackDown Live in 2019 After Move to Fox

Fox isn't just pushing WWE in a more sports-oriented direction for its upcoming broadcasts of SmackDown Live.

It's also reportedly making talent requests.

Justin LaBar of Wrestling Inc. reported Fox is pushing WWE to have Ronda Rousey be part of the SmackDown roster when the network takes over broadcast rights next October.

Fox has a pre-existing relationship with Rousey because of her history in MMA.

Rousey, 31, joined WWE in a full-time capacity in January after becoming one of the most famous faces in MMA history. She's instantly taken to the world of sports entertainment, impressing with her ring work and becoming the Raw women's champion in August.

WWE has long viewed Raw as its flagship program. In past years, it would seem highly unlikely that the company would move someone as popular as Rousey to the blue brand. But Smackdown has become a valuable entity in its own right since becoming live in 2016.

Fox will pay WWE $1 billion over five years for the rights to SmackDown Live, which will move to Friday nights. The program currently airs Tuesday on USA Network.

Fox is also reportedly pursuing UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier to join WWE as a commentator.

And they have a pretty easy path for Becky to get to legit stardom levels. But I think we all have our doubts that they will actually do it

If I were Vince I'd throw $$ at Conor and get him involved with Becky ..

If this is true, expect for Vince to have Ronda start looking stupid as shyt leading up to moving to FOX

 

[MenacingMonk]

I like what Fox is trying to do. Maybe it can create some competition within. Maybe Raw will try to be decent if SD can get more points in the future.

I knew this would happen once they started talking about wanting a more "sports-like" product.

 

[Yade]

If they really want ratings
They need fukkery
That’s what made the AE so great

Not the violence or cussing or edgy stuff just plain ol fukkery

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Sounds like they’re gonna regret this Fox deal. They’re looking to create a better product outside of McMahon’s vision
